New Year, New Hope
I can’t tell you the last time I stayed up until midnight on New Years Eve. Sometimes I’ll watch the ball drop in New York City, which is at 11pm my time, but sometimes I don’t even make it that far into the night. This year I might actually try to stay up. Not because I have anything big planned-… Read more »

Granted, this may be in part because her mother didn’t want her to become a poet and pushed these studies, but Ada excelled… Read more »
Reflections of Portland
